Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Navigating Challenges: Mental Health, Legislation, and the Prison System in B...Guillermo Rivera
This conference will delve into the intricate intersections between mental health, legal frameworks, and the prison system in Bolivia. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current challenges faced by mental health professionals working within the legislative and correctional landscapes. Topics of discussion will include the prevalence and impact of mental health issues among the incarcerated population, the effectiveness of existing mental health policies and legislation, and potential reforms to enhance the mental health support system within prisons.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

10. Enablers of health reform included multiple factors
• VISION: Chhattisgarh’s poor health status and high IMR provided the policy push for the
successful community health worker program called the Mitanin program.
• COLLABORATION:
• In 2001, the MoU between State Health Resource Centre (SHRC), European Commission Technical
Assistance (EUTA), and Action Aid seen as a historical document for health reforms.
• Strong civil society presence: Eg. The Right to Food campaign and Adhivasi Adhikar Samiti helped
mobilize action to create awareness about nutrition and support the scale up of the Mitanin program.
• Development partner support: EUTA influenced institutional reforms in the health department and
supported the Mitanin program; UNICEF has provided technical support to WCD
• Camaraderie between civil society, development partners & government influenced policy design and
implementation.
• Unique contribution of a ‘united’ force of NGOs to scale up the Mitanin program in a short time
period.
Note: Stakeholder interviews and literature review provided information about the enablers of health reforms
11. Drivers of change in health services in Chhattisgarh
• CAPACITY & COMMUNITY: Able bureaucracy
associated with community-led reforms:
Mitanin, Fulwari, Wajan Tyohar, Nawa Jatan.
Functionaries of the reform process had the
experience of working with the 1990 literacy
movement. District collectors who have led
several innovations, are perceived as having
flexibility to innovate
• IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT: Technological
advancements used in program
implementation to make processes more
efficient. Resources bolstered by National
Rural Health Mission (especially for
infrastructure) and the Rural Medical
Assistance scheme (for personnel) NRHM
empowered SHRC to continue their mission
even after SHRC autonomous
• “Every single change is because the government
made it happen ” - NGO representative
• “Mitanin ensured that good health is good politics”
- State Bureaucrat
• “In many meetings I have heard the CM say that
the Fulwari is very good and should be scaled up” –
Development partner representative
SMART POLITICS: In 2008, BJP continued the
legacy of reforms under the Congress based on
the demand of the vote bank.

13. Drivers of change in poverty and economic growth: PDS, job growth,
female participation in the labor force
• Some literature has attributed the decline in poverty to PDS (Dreze & Khera 2013, GIZ 2011).
A development partner poverty assessment has attributed it to health programs in addition
to PDS (GIZ 2011).
• Consumption inequality (0.31 Gini coefficient) in Chhattisgarh is lower than the national
average (World Bank 2016)
• After 2005, job growth (1.6 percent) in Chhattisgarh was higher than in most advanced
states - West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra (World Bank 2016).
• Faster job growth in construction and services in Chhattisgarh after 2005 (World Bank 2016)
• Female labor force participation (55 percent) in Chhattisgarh is higher than in most states
(World Bank 2016).
• There are gains in schooling for the young in Chhattisgarh. Public school enrollment in
Chhattisgarh is higher than the national average. Learning outcomes though have shown
little improvement, are better than in other low income states (World Bank 2016).

14. Household access to the Public Distribution System increased due to PDS reforms
to expand coverage, incentivise and build efficiency and transparency in procurement
of paddy and distribution of grain through de-privatization and computerization
PDS reform was enabled by
• Creation of a new state enabled opportunities
for government and civil society to influence
change in the PDS.
• Strong civil society presence through The Right
to Food Campaign and Adhivasi Adhikar Samiti
who helped mobilize action to build consumer
demand and policy dialogue.
• Sustained political support through change of
government: PDS seen as a vote fetcher. Push
for reforms in 2007 spurred by the ruling
party’s loss to the opposition in a constituency.
• Bureaucratic leadership and efficiency in the
food department supported and sustained the
reform process.

15. An enabling environment for change on many
fronts
• Creation of a new state brought political
opportunities: low hanging fruit to build up
from, the need to project itself better than it’s
poor status under former state, Madhya
Pradesh.
• Political stability – the BJP has been in power
for over 10 years in the state. The BJP
government continued (and added to) the
reforms associated by the previous
government.
• IMR reductions in 2003-04 (the highest in
north India) brought the attention of political
leaders.
• Culture of learning and evaluations to implement
programs.
• Infrastructural improvements in the state have
likely contributed to progress in programs.
• Diverse sources of funding: Untied funds, IAP,
District Mineral Fund, NREGA, private sector.
